Department of Conservation workers "live in hope" of catching the culprit who shot two seals in the head near Kaikoura.
The two seals, one female and an 11-month-old pup, were found by with gunshot wounds to their heads by a volunteer from Ohau Seals Volunteers at Ohau Point seal colony, north of Kaikoura, on Saturday.
They were found just below the Ohau Point seal lookout beside State Highway 1.
The dead seals were about 50 metres apart.
DOC South Marlborough area manager David Hayes said it was not known if the female seal was the pup's mother.
"There's no way of knowing... if it's not, there's another pup affected as well," he said.

This is sad, the shooters obviously want attention.
